Life Lately…

There are so many exciting things happening that I want to tell you about. First and foremost, I’m so happy to tell you that I’m going to be the new Food Editor at The Everygirl! It’s a part-time position that works perfectly around my full-time job at Weber. If you haven’t been following this lifestyle website, you should be. It’s a great source of information for career-driven women and I am so thrilled to be part of the team. My first article, 5 Culinary School Secrets Every Home Cook Needs to Know, ran last week and we’re working on lots more story ideas. Check it out, comment, share it on social, tell your friends! Shameless self-promtion. 🙂

Things at Weber are crazy busy right now. But in the best possible way, of course! I’m working with the supremely talented, James Beard nominated, NY Times best-selling cookbook author, Jamie Purviance on a new cookbook for Weber. Jamie has written a slew of mouth-watering recipes that I have been testing and editing. We work really hard to make sure our recipes are not only incredibly delicious but also easy to follow, clearly written and foolproof. They are tested and retested multiple times so that by the time the book goes to print we know, without a doubt, that these recipes work. Check out my Instagram feed for a behind-the-scenes look at some of the recipes we’re working on.

And last but not least…The Krave! I’ve been thinking long and hard about how to make this the most valuable, enjoyable, informative food blog for you, my dear readers. I will continue to post original recipes and I will continue to work on improving my food photography to bring those recipes to life. That said, I want The Krave to be a place where you get more than just great recipes and pretty pictures. I want it to be a place for you to learn how to cook and to learn about food, not just follow a recipe. I want to show you how to pan-roast, dice, sauté, chop, braise, baste, frost, fold, mix, grill, mince and sear. Plan on seeing more tutorials, how-to’s and guides. Plan on reading more about kitchen tools, tricks and techniques that will help you become the master of your kitchen domain. And please, please, please, if there’s anything you want to know, skills you want to learn, questions you want answered….Ask! Comment! Send me an email! Connect with me on social! I’m here to help you become more confident, competent cooks!
